The Volute Aged 3+ Year
The Volute Aged 3+ Years Size: UndisclosedVitola: UndisclosedWrapper: UndisclosedBinder: UndisclosedFillers: Amazonian-grown tobacco from Tabacalera del OrienteFlavor Notes: Earth, exotic spice, rainforest wood, subtle sweetness, floral aromaticsPairing Notes: Aged rum, Brazilian coffee, red wine with earthy tannins, spiced dark chocolate, exotic fruit dessertsManufacturer: Tabacalera del Oriente (Amazon Rainforest) – Commissioned blend by Claudio Sgroi for the Limited Cigar Association Privada Storytelling In the deepest reaches of the Amazon rainforest stands Tabacalera del Oriente, a factory and farm that is nearly mythical in its exclusivity. Owned by Gennaro Lettieri, this operation exists to supply a single client. Every leaf grown under Lettieri’s watchful eye is destined for one destination—and one destination only. Yet, in a rare twist of fate, he kept a small portion of his extraordinary tobacco for himself. That sacred stash, never sold and never shared, became the heart of The Volute. To bring it to life, Lettieri entrusted Claudio Sgroi, one of the industry’s most respected artisans, to craft a cigar worthy of the leaf’s origin. The result is a limited run that whispers of the Amazon itself: humid earth, wild botanicals, and a richness that feels untouched by modern commerce. It is as though the rainforest has been pressed into a cigar, rolled carefully in secret, and released only to those fortunate enough to encounter it through Privada and the Limited Cigar Association. Flavor Journey First Third: Earth-driven and bold, with notes of rainforest soil, dark wood, and exotic spices. A natural sweetness lingers at the edges, softening the intensity. Second Third: A medley of florals and aromatics arises, evoking the lush vegetation of the Amazon. Hints of nutmeg, cacao husk, and roasted nuts appear, balanced by creamy smoke. Final Third: The cigar deepens into resinous wood, black tea, and faint citrus peel. The sweetness lingers, joined by a mineral-rich complexity that marks the Volute as unlike anything else in the humidor. Why It Belongs in Privada The Volute is an invitation into the Amazon, one of the most inaccessible and mysterious sources of tobacco in the world. To hold this cigar is to hold history, rarity, and privilege. Gennaro Lettieri does not sell his tobacco, yet here it is—offered in partnership with Claudio Sgroi and the LCA. This is the type of release that defines Privada: a blend that can’t be duplicated, can’t be negotiated, and can’t be found anywhere else. It belongs here because it proves that even in a world of endless cigars, there are still secrets worth chasing.

Series is our love letter to the whimsical, meticulous world of director Wes Anderson. With ten cigars, each inspired by one of his films, we aim to capture the charm, structure, and quiet eccentricity of Anderson’s storytelling in tobacco form. The second chapter, Academia, honors Rushmore, Anderson’s breakout feature. Just as Max Fischer lived and breathed his prep school world, this cigar thrives in its own distinctive realm. Wrapped in a rare Nicaraguan Double Claro, its vibrant green hue immediately signals something unconventional, playful, and bold. This isn’t your everyday toro—it’s an ode to youthful obsession, eccentric ambition, and the relentless pursuit of something bigger. Where Fireworks was a celebration, Academia is discipline, tradition, and creative rebellion all at once. It’s the cigar that teaches you something—about tobacco, about patience, about storytelling through flavor. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens with grassy freshness, cedar, and citrus zest. A delicate pepper hum lingers on the retrohale while toasted almond and cream soften the edges. Second Third: The body grows richer with warm bread, baking spices, and a subtle honey sweetness. Hints of tea leaf and dried fruit surface, balanced by a creamy, airy texture. Final Third: The flavors deepen into roasted nuts, wood, and lingering citrus. A quiet crescendo of cedar and spice leaves a balanced, refreshing close. Why It Belongs in Privada Academia proves that a cigar doesn’t have to be dark or heavy to be meaningful. Just as Rushmore introduced Wes Anderson’s eccentric genius to the world, Academia introduces Privada members to the underappreciated art of the Double Claro wrapper. It’s rare, it’s daring, and it’s a flavor profile that belongs only in a collection as ambitious as the W.A. Series.

The patriarch of this family, entranced by the artistry of tobacco, reached out to none other than Dominican master blender Chico Rivas. His request was simple but profound: create a cigar worthy of sitting alongside their century-old chocolate recipes. For years, this cigar was an intimate treasure, shared only with friends and relatives of the family. Now, with rare permission—and without the use of their sacred name or logo—a small allotment of this dessert-like masterpiece has been released exclusively through the Limited Cigar Association. Cocoa Di Padre is more than a cigar; it is an edible memory transformed into smoke, the taste of Italy’s legacy of indulgence reimagined in tobacco form. Flavor Journey First Third: A velvet opening of cocoa powder and pastry cream, laced with toasted almonds and sweet cedar. Retrohale introduces hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, recalling a warm Italian bakery at dawn. Second Third: The profile deepens into layers of molten chocolate, vanilla bean, and hazelnut cream, with a drizzle of sweet syrup rounding out the mid-palate. Cedar and soft pepper weave in for balance. Final Third: Darker, richer notes emerge—espresso, charred oak, and spiced cocoa—leaving a lingering sweetness reminiscent of tiramisu dusted with cocoa powder. Why It Belongs in Privada Privada exists to unearth treasures meant for the few. Cocoa Di Padre is a cigar born from private indulgence, never intended for the world, and that is exactly why it belongs here. Its story weaves together chocolate artisanship, family tradition, and Chico Rivas’ legendary touch. For members of Privada, it’s a chance to taste history otherwise locked away behind the doors of an Italian family’s kitchen.

Privada Coffee & Cigar Pairing
Privada Coffee & Cigar Pairing Series The coffee: What Makes These Beans So Special We selected high-grown Guatemalan SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) coffee for its exceptional clarity, structure, and versatility.

Their natural balance of nuttiness, citrus, and spice makes them the perfect canvas for pairing with premium cigars—whether you're enjoying bold Nicaraguan spice, rich Maduro depth, or creamy Connecticut nuance.

Habano Roast: Roasted to a medium-dark level (16:30–17:00 min) to bring out nutty, creamy, cinnamon, and subtle citrus notes that complement the red pepper, baked bread, and spice of a bold Nicaraguan Habano cigar. Maduro Roast: A 50/50 split of medium and dark roast. This blend highlights lime and vanilla from the lighter roast and dark chocolate and smooth depth from the darker roast—mirroring the cigar’s mix of spice, sweetness, and richness. Connecticut Roast: Roasted to a balanced medium (16:00–16:30 min) to deliver a smooth, creamy body with light cedar, soft spice, and mellow acidity—built for the creamy yet spicy intensity of a Connecticut Shade cigar, especially for morning pairing with or without cream and sugar.

Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years
Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years Size: 6×52 Toro (classic format)Vitola: ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan (long-aged)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: NicaraguanFlavor Notes: Creamy cedar, gorgonzola funk, oak, dried apricot, minerals, white pepper, buttered popcorn, toasted bread, cinnamon, vanilla creamPairing Notes: Buttered popcorn, lowland Scotch, cream soda, vanilla ice cream, white chocolate, light roast coffee, low-proof Jack Daniels, Belgian beers (prior to smoking), cinnamon dessertsManufacturer: Montenegro Cigars (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling Cigars often serve as vessels of memory and imagination, and the Montenegro Batista Aged 10+ Years is a perfect example of this duality. The name itself carries weight—an allusion to Fulgencio Batista, who fled Cuba on the last day of 1958 as Castro’s revolution swept Havana. But this cigar is not about politics. It is about a what-if. What if Batista had remained? What if Havana had continued as the Las Vegas of the Caribbean, fueled by casinos, mob money, and neon-lit decadence? The band design, created under Privada’s art direction with @sedatedhype, imagines this alternate world—a vintage Cuban band style reworked in casino neon, bridging tradition and fantasy. For a cigar with this story, we needed a blend that felt timeless, refined, and bold. Montenegro delivered. Known for decadent, ultra-traditional cigars crafted without compromise, this Nicaraguan puro aged over 10 years smokes like an heirloom. It’s Cuban in spirit, Nicaraguan in execution, and Privada in imagination. Flavor Journey First Third: Opens creamy and elegant, with oak, cedar, salt, dried apricot, and white pepper. A faint gorgonzola funk adds intrigue, with minerals and dried herbs weaving through. Retrohale is creamy cedar and faint florals. Second Third: Becomes richer and glossier, with florals, buttered popcorn, toasted bread, charred cedar, and cinnamon. Salt lingers on the tongue while the retrohale blooms with florals and white pepper. Dried fruit sweetness balances the savoriness. Final Third: Intensifies with cedar, cinnamon, browned toast, whipped vanilla cream, and faint fruity zing. Cream, salt, and cedar define the finish, while the retrohale closes with smoke, white pepper, and lingering complexity. Why It Belongs in Privada This cigar is history, imagination, and craft rolled into one. It belongs in Privada because it challenges us to think differently—not only about tobacco but about time, culture, and what could have been. By securing a cigar like this from Montenegro, a brand synonymous with decadence and uncompromising quality, Privada gives members the rare chance to taste tradition through the lens of storytelling and speculation.

Unicorns - Aged 5 Years
Unicorns – Aged 5 Years Size: 6×46 (Unicorn Horn), 6×52 (Unicorn Head)Vitola: Corona Gorda, ToroWrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo (Aganorsa)Binder: NicaraguanFillers: Nicaraguan (Aganorsa-grown Cuban-seed tobaccos)Flavor Notes: Aged cedar, dark cocoa, roasted almond, pepper spice, dried fruit sweetness, creamy mineral finishPairing Notes: Tawny port, café con leche, aged rum, or spiced black teaManufacturer: Aganorsa Leaf (Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling The Unicorns – Aged 5 Years are more than cigars; they are artifacts of defiance, perseverance, and creativity. Six years ago, in partnership with Aganorsa — Nicaragua’s most respected grower of Cuban-seed tobaccos — we set aside this puro to showcase the unmatched complexity that only time could deliver. But these cigars weren’t born quietly. At the time of their creation, Privada was under fire from industry giants — facing pressure from Fuente, the PCA, and critics who dismissed our artwork as disruptive. The Unicorn branding became a tongue-in-cheek rebellion, a playful jab at an industry sometimes too stiff to embrace change. Now, after five years of slumber, the Unicorns emerge not only as refined aged puros, but as proof that authenticity outlasts opposition. Flavor Journey Unicorn Horn (6×46): The leaner of the two sizes, offering a concentrated experience of aged cedar, cocoa, and pepper, with undertones of dried fruit and a mineral creaminess that lingers.

Second Third: Butterscotch, oak, and cinnamon take over, joined by apples and a phantom ginger ale fizz on the retro. Notes of caramel, candied orange, and raspberry follow. Final Third: Dry butter pecan, maple syrup, and charred oak dominate. As the cigar closes, florals and a bright orange zest linger, wrapping the experience like the last notes of a holiday feast. Why It Belongs in Privada Grinchy is more than a holiday smoke—it’s a piece of Privada culture. It represents what happens when passion, artistry, and a little chaos collide. This cigar delivers seasonal nostalgia and refined craftsmanship in one perfect package. With 3+ years of aging behind it, Grinchy isn’t just playful—it’s a winter classic that showcases Bobi’s unique voice in the cigar world.
